Chapter1 Basis of accounting

Basis of accounting

1, different types of businesses

Sole trader
One person owns and runs the business.
The sole trader and the business are legally the same entity and therefore the sole trader
is personally liable for any business debts.

Partnership
Two or more persons owns and runs the business.
The partners and the business are legally the same entity and therefore the partners are
jointly liable for any business debts.

Limited liability company


Shareholders and a number of appointed directors own and run the business.
A company is a legal entity in its own right, and therefore the shareholders only have
limited liability for any business debts.

2, Different Types of accounts

Management accounts
These are producedwhen a business wants them. They are produced for internal use and
will not, usually be seen by external people. Management accounts can be prepared using
the companys own internal policies.

Financial accounts
These accounts are usually produced annually. They are based on historical information
and are rarely used internally. Financial accounts are used by external users for several
reasons:
-Investors
-Lenders
-Employees
-Government
-Public

Step 1: Source of documents


Quotation.A business makes a written offer to a customer to produce or deliver goods or
servicesfor a certain amount of money.
Sales Order Note. A customer writes out or signs an order for goods or services he
requires.
Purchase Order Note. A business orders from another business goods or services, such
as material supplies.
Goods received note. A list of goods that a business has received from a supplier. This is
usually prepared by the businesss own warehouse or goods receiving area.
Goods dispatched note. A list of goods that a business has sent out to a customer.
Invoice. The invoice is a request for the customer to pay what he owes.
When a business sells goods or services on credit to a customer, it sends out an invoice. The
details on the invoice should match the details on the sales order.
When a business buys goods or services on credit it receives an invoice from the supplier.
The details on the invoice should match the details on the purchase order.

credit notes and payments received from the customer showing how much the customer
still needs to pay for supplier.
Debit note.
A document sent by a customer to a supplier in respect of goods returned or an

In simple words, for customer, please give me money.
Credit note.
A document sent by a supplier to a customer in respect of goods returned or overpayments
made by the customer. It is a negative invoice.
A creditnote is issued in various situations to correct a mistake, such as when

(2) correctdiscount rate is not applied,
(3) they do not meet the buyer's specifications and are returned.
In simple words, for supplier, Ill give you money.
12

Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C)

www.globalapc.com

Remittance advice
A document sent to a supplier alongside any payment sent to them. It details which
invoices are being made.
In the real practice, the supplier sent you the invoice telling you how much you should pay
and after the payment you can send them back a remittance advice telling them about the
payment information:

Account Number :

Currency:

Invoice Number :

Invoice Amount:

Receipt.A written confirmation that money has been paid. This is usually in respect of cash
sales, eg a till receipt from a cash register.

NOTE:
Data about sales transactions recorded in an accounting system comes from:
1,sales invoice
2,credit notes
3,payments by customers(cheque or remittance advice)
4,receipts(sellers copy) in cash sales

Data about purchase transactions recorded in an accounting system comes


from:
1,purchase invoice
2,credit note
3,payments to suppliers(cheque or remittance advice)
4,receipts(purcahsers copy) in cash purchases

13

Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C)

Step 2, Books of prime entry


Main business transactions are summarised into books of prime entry for later posting to
the ledgers.
Why?

We can use journals to record all business transactions but the volume is HUGE
especially for big companies.

Then what we do is to post all trasnactions into the books and only record the total
figure from each books to ledger account.

The common books of prime entry and the types of transaction recorded in them are:
Sales Day Book (SDB)

Records credit sales to customers

Sales Returns Day Book (SRDB)

Records the return of credit sales

Purchases Day Book (PDB)

Records credit purchases from suppliers

Purchases Returns Day Book (PRDB)

Records the return of credit purchases

Cash Payments Book (CPB)

Records all payments made at the bank

Cash Receipts Book (CRB)

Records all receipts made at the bank

Petty Cash Book

Records all receipts and payments ofcash in hand

Journal

Other transactions (Depreciation etc)

In practical world, we always need to keep a float amount of money within the business
so that we can use these money to buy bits and pieces, eg, biscuits whenever we want
without withdrawing from the bank each time.
So for the imprest system: (3steps/characteristics)
Step1: decide the float amount:$100;
Step2: receipt will be recorded in petty cash book as $100; payment for expenditure
will be recorded in petty cash book as well and any expenditure and receipt must have
a voucher. float amount=cash in tin +vouchers
$100
= $90
+ $10

Step3: The amount used is restored on a regular basis to the float amount.

4, Johnkeeps his petty cash records using an imprest system. The total petty cash float
is made up monthly to $450. During the month of January, the following expenses were
paid from petty cash:
Milk: $52
Postage stamps: $100
Window cleaner: $50

By mistakes the milk was recorded as $25 and as a result a cheque for $175 was
written to top up the petty cash float. The error made will result in the following:
A: an understatement of expenses of $27 and the petty cash balance being $75 less
than it should be.
B:an understatement of expenses of $27 and the petty cash closing balance being $27
less than it should be.
C:an imbalance in the trial balance of $27 and the petty cash balance being $27 less
than it should be.
D:an imbalance in the trial balance of $95 and the petty cash balance being $75 less
than it should be.
Answer: B
Correct:
Amount left= 450-52-100-50=248
So money should be drawn from bank: 450-248=202 (DR petty cash)
Wrong:
Amount left= 450-25(mistakes)-100-50=275
So money should be drawn from bank: 450-275=175 (DR petty cash)
So:

The following totals appear in the day books for March 2013.

Opening and closing inventories are both $3,000.


The gross profit for March 2013 is ........................................

Sales (40,000-2,000(return inwards))

38,000

Cost of sale
Opening inventory 3000
Purchases
20,000 4000(return outwards)
Closing inventory (3000)

Gross profit

22,000

Gross profit is not net profit so we dont need to consider the tax effect.
Return Outwards:
Faulty or wrong goods that the business returns back to suppliers
Record in purchase return day book. [DR note]
Explanation: when you return goods back to suppliers, the amount you owe them
reduces as you do not have to pay for the wrong items. You will also have to open a new
ledger account for return outwards.

Chapter3 Prepare the FS with incomplete records


Scenario: client may ask you to prepare the FS for them with the missing records, eg,
sales invoices are missing so that we cant establish the credit sales; purchase invoices
are missing so that we cant establish the credit purchases for the year; closing
inventory is missing so that we cant establish the gross profit.
The techniques to establish the missing records are:
1, use accounting equation
2, use ledger accounts
3, use profit percentages

[ALP]

28

Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C)

www.globalapc.com

Technique1, use accounting equation

Accounting equation:
Assets=liabilities+capital
So:
Assets-liabilities=capital
Net assets = opening capital+capitalintroduced+profit-drawings=closing capital

Missing profit:
Mannys statement of financial position at 31 December 2011 shows that the business
has net assets of $5,000.
The statement of financial position at 31 December 2010 shows that the business has
net assets of $8,000.
Mannys drawings for the year amounted to $2,500
She didnt introduce any further capital in the year.
Required:
Calculate the profit for the year ended 31 December 2011.

Answer:
Op capital
Capital introduced
Profits [balancing]
Drawings
Closing capital (net asset)

5000
5500
(2500)
8000

29

Accounting Practise Center (A.P.C)

www.globalapc.com

Technique2:, Use ledger accounts

1, credit sales are missing, use receivable control account


Opening balance on the trade receivables control account of Mannys company was
$50,000.
there had been receipts from credit customers in the year of $45,000.
irrecoverable debts that have been written off equals to $5,000 and the closing balance
on the trade receivables control account was $55,000.
So what is the credit sales for the year?

Answer:
Way1:
DR receivable 50,000
Dr cash 45000 CR receivable 45000
